The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

----------------

All the players were deeply interested in the topics Aldridge raised in today's training.

How exactly do you take advantage of the rules?

Aldridge walked up to Henry and said: We want to make the best use of the rules, which is to remind the referee and tell the referee: Although I am in an offside position, I did not participate in this attack! I am passive offside, yours Flag, don't raise it!

Henry touched his bald head, but still didn't understand, spread his hands and said, What's the use of this?

Ha, what's the use? Come, let me tell you what's the use.

Aldridge began to count troops on the training ground.

The regular back four was called out, they were asked to compress the distance on the training ground and take a defensive position, and then three players were called out.

Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson.

Aldridge let Ronaldinho take the ball in front of the back line, and then Henry ran offside!

None of the back four understood what was going on.

They stared at Ronaldinho, vigilant about his playing time, while marking Henry and Larson.

When Henry was offside, Ronaldinho's pass really passed to the deep space on the right side of the defense where Henry was running.

The defenders confirmed that Henry was offside, so they relaxed and raised their hands to signal, just about to remind Aldridge that the ball was over.

However, they widened their eyes and saw Henry running to the left in disbelief.

Henry is in an offside position. The running direction is opposite to the rolling direction of the ball, and the distance is gradually increasing. It is impossible for him to catch the ball!

And at this moment. Larson, who was lying in ambush and rushing forward, received the ball before the baseline, and the position where he got the ball opened up the deep space. At this time, he got the ball, and Henry, who ran to the other side, was onside again!

Larsson crosses the ball to Henry, who stops it at his feet.

He patted his bald head again, and somewhat understood what Aldridge meant by using the rules and reminding the referee!

A simple training tactical exercise.

The whole team was amazed.

Aldridge told them in the simplest way how to take advantage of this rule change.

The point is that the offside player itself confuses the opponent and disrupts the opponent's marking plan. And remind the referee that he is not involved in the attack.

There is no clear penalty standard for not touching the ball and not being offside, so instead of standing still, make yourself a conspicuous target on the ball rolling route. The offside player must first disentangle himself from the pass and run.

Running away by himself, the distance from the ball is getting farther and farther away, and the linesman will hesitate when he sees it, reducing his determination to judge this player involved in this offense.

Secondly, the appearance of the players who put in behind is also a reminder to the linesman that the pass-run coordination of this offense is actually the other two players, and they are not offside!

During this process. It will completely disrupt the opponent's defensive layout.

If you want to take advantage of the rules to make a profit, and not in a simple and rude way, you must have much higher requirements on the player's ability.

before. An offense is a pass-and-run, so to speak, an interaction between two players.

One pass, one run.

Now, add one more person.

Not every passing and running combination can be completed. For Millwall, there are many players with excellent running awareness. So, their offense. Most of the players run first, the pass is slow, or they don't pass at all. It is rare to see the passer find the space to pass the pass, and the striker has no awareness of running position. This is the team's tactical system, which is highly permeable. Determined by the characteristics, the first task of the striker is to capture the space and make use of it.

Aldridge's so-called utilization is to take advantage of the situation where more forwards run first and teammates pass later.

In the case of running first, most of the time the striker is offside. The passer either realizes that the striker is offside and passes the ball in vain, or the striker is blown offside after passing the ball.

Now, even if the striker is offside, it doesn't matter!

But the striker must be clear-headed. Offside is offside, but he can cover his teammates. Even if the passer passes the ball, he will run away immediately. In other words, he will participate in the next foreseeable attack. This attack is left to others. The teammate who plugged in later.

Encouraging offense to make the game smooth is nothing more than the fact that the game is not always interrupted by the referee. As long as the line referee does not raise the flag, everything will continue.

It can be said that such a pass and run has become a cooperation between at least three players.

The passer, the backside hides the receiver, the player in the offside position.

How about other teams, Aldridge doesn't know.

But in Millwall, making good use of this rule will be of great help to their offense.

Because they are now playing on the wing!

Double front, double front.

There will be more impact points for hidden in-cut moves.

Of course, the game reading ability of this pair of passers is also very high.

First, realize that the target of the first pass is offside.

Second, use the offside teammate as a cover, infiltrate and pass the ball to the teammate who hides and plugs in.

Alonso, Ronaldinho, Nedved, are the passers in the team who need to raise awareness of this aspect now.

After the Millwall players understood Aldrich's idea, Ronaldinho suddenly sighed: Boss, why are you so cunning?

Ha ha ha ha

The whole team laughed out loud.

Aldrich was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled wryly.

 …

Halfway through the season, after Millwall's staged results showed, the team became more stable and stronger than at the beginning of the season, and Alonso also began to flourish in the role of midfield organizer. Three generations of wild lions gradually opened their mouths wide, their sharp fangs intending to devour Europa again.

Since the start of the second half of the league, the pattern of the Premier League championship has become more and more clear.

Champions will return from Manchester to London again!

In February, The Times ran such a headline.

There is no doubt that the championship will be produced between Arsenal and Millwall.

The strength and stability shown by the two teams this season are strikingly similar.

When it came to the end of February. Although Millwall's FA Cup training ended in failure, the young players did not surprise Aldridge in the cup, but in the league. Millwall and Arsenal go hand in hand, but the two teams that do not lose either win or draw, and the gap has always been 3 or 4 points. Swing between 5 points.

On February 21, the 26th round of the Premier League ended. After 7 rounds, Millwall only shortened Arsenal's 2-point gap.

In these 7 rounds of the league, Millwall has one more win than Arsenal, and Arsenal has one more draw. Still 3 points ahead of Millwall!

But the two teams opened the gap between the teams behind them by double digits.

Chelsea's performance in the first half was mediocre, just as the Daily Telegraph sarcastically said: When Eriksson figured out what kind of league style the Premier League is and adapted to the atmosphere of England, three months have passed .

In addition to the impact of Ferdinand's suspension, Manchester United also has their offensive firepower that has declined significantly in the past two seasons.

Van Nistelrooy was indeed the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot last season, but Manchester United's offensive firepower last season was the lowest in the past few seasons, and this season has further declined. Ruud van Nistelrooy alone cannot support a giant The required offensive firepower. The decisive factor for Manchester United to win the championship last season may still be defense. They have conceded fewer goals than their rivals and this season, especially the second half, has been almost predictably a disappointment for United without Ferdinand.

end of February. Aldridge led the team to Munich.

In the mouths of many fans, Millwall and Bayern Munich have forged a blood feud!

this season. In the 1/8 finals, Millwall drew Bayern Munich again, which was beyond everyone's expectations, but in the final analysis, Bayern Munich should also be blamed for not living up to expectations in the group stage. If they can get the first place in the group, they will naturally not Drawn to Millwall.

Hitzfeld has been much more low-key this season.

Last season, he also boasted that Bayern Munich is the strongest Bayern Munich in history. As a result, the Champions League group stage went home like Millwall.

The Millwall executives still have a good relationship with the Bayern Munich club, but they always meet in the arena.

To some extent, it also shows that the strength of the two teams is at the top of European football. Otherwise, how many times can a strong team and a weak team meet in the knockout rounds of the Champions League?

The UEFA Champions League has been reformed again this season, canceling the second stage of the group stage, and the 16 teams that qualified for the group stage will directly fight against each other.

When it comes to the knockout round of the Champions League, Aldridge will definitely not continue to attack fiercely. In the first round of the away game, it is best to be cautious and win if you don't lose.

Having played against Heathfield for many years, Aldridge is very familiar with him. Bayern Munich is still the German chariot of the team as a whole, and Millwall is not much less in this respect.

In the UEFA Champions League focus battle in Munich, the game went on to the 70th minute, and the score was still 0:0.

Millwall defended cautiously and would not over-invest in the offense, and Bayern Munich did not dare to attack aggressively. This delicate stalemate and balance has been maintained until now.

Aldrich was very patient, but Heathfield couldn't sit still.

Although Millwall fell behind to Arsenal in the Premier League, Millwall's goals surpassed Arsenal's by more than 10.

why?

As long as they score the first goal in the game, the extremely defensive opponents will attack if they want to equalize the score. The dense defense will no longer exist. Millwall's side storms can often score bloody big scores.

Among them, the 9:0 slaughter of the Wolves, the 7:0 bloodbath of Leicester City, and the 6:0 defeat of Blackburn are all their brilliant results in the past two months.

If you don't win Millwall at home, go to the away game, can you steal one and stick to it?

Heathfield was not optimistic about the prospects, just when he was going to give it a go, Aldridge made a substitution.

Lahm, who left Bayern Munich last summer, replaced Baines. Ashley Cole was recently injured and will not return for two weeks.

The limitation of Baines playing left back, or the habit of attacking, must still be based on his habit of left foot, so his support effect is better, but if he changes forward and cuts inside, he seems a little weak, Ash Leigh Cole is more impactful, experienced and more mature, while Lahm has an inherent advantage. He is a right-footed player. good threat.

More than half a season has passed, and compared to Ram's growth after leaving Bayern Munich, at least, in terms of special skills, Millwall's training of him is more targeted.

Meulensteen initially used the winger's offensive ability to make a training plan for Ram.

Lahm was replaced today. From the outside world, Aldridge was just a teenager for a teenager matchup substitution.

In fact, it is not, it is a partial change to the offensive method.

After Lahm played, he quickly shocked Bayern Munich!

This kid scored in the 76th minute!

It was on the left side in front of the penalty area. Ronaldinho controlled the ball and attracted the defenders. After getting the ball from the edge of Ramtau, he unexpectedly crossed the middle. The dead corner at the far end of the flying goal left all the fans stunned.

After the goal, Lahm stretched out his hand blankly to signal his teammates not to come to him to celebrate.

The teammates also understandably walked slowly towards the backcourt.

The faces of the Bayern Munich Big Three who were watching the game from the stands were a little ugly.

Looking at Lahm now, he doesn't look like a full-back at all!

In other words, too good a full-back!

This is unbelievable for the Bayern executives who were hesitant about the renewal of Lahm's contract most of the season.

They began to recall the original deal.

Did Aldridge have his eyes on Ram from the beginning?

Millwall need full-backs.

Bayern Munich will not let go of the more stunning Schweinsteiger.

Among the three conditions, only Lahm seems to be expensive as a bargaining chip, and it is worth letting go.

Bayern Munich's big three will never have an answer unless Aldridge is asked.

And this season's Champions League trip, Bayern Munich seems to be planted at the feet of Millwall again. (to be continued) ()
